LONDON, Sept. 28. - Especial THE
Standard says: "The news OF the This
ties defeat will cause almost es much
surprise asregret among English yacht
ing men. Much, however, affords the
hope that when the yachts meet tOmOr-
row the result will be reversed. The
Volunteer had the good fortune Of get
ting the Arst streak Of wind. The
Thistle was hampered by the accOmps
nying steamboats,, the same as the
GRlatea was last year."
The Chronicle says: "The next race,
If the weather be more prcpitiOus for
the Thistle, may be the reverse Of yes
terdays. contest, in which even public
interest will be intense until the final
race of Saturday. Meanwhile the Amer
leans may be congratulated upon hav.
ing CALAMITY held their own and upon
their prospect Of still retaining the
cup"
The News says: at Is not to be con
cesled nor denied that the result Of the
race is a bitter disappointment. We
had been led to expect great things OF
selves encouraged Us In our expeets
tiOns. Our disappointment is all the
greater because, though neither boat
had the right wind IOr thoroughly
good race. A light breezs prevailed that
was supposed to be in favor Cf the This
| tie. The Thistle lost In wind OF hel
own choice. We may build better b0at
some day. We have never built such
one before"

vices were In great demand. AmOnl
his pupils was Lillian Norris, aged %
the belle of the town. Lillian was en-
gagged to Wilson Morris, very pODula
Young man, and to outsiders their c0uTst

Monday morning Jennie Wagner, Lii
lian's most intimate friend, found
letter addressed to her on the doorstep
It was a note from Lillian saying sh

VETS AT ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27.-[Special. Crowds
OF old soldiers and thousands of visitor

most overwhelmed the reception com

and every one is given place to sleep
Fully $500 tents have been pitched Il
various parts Of the city, and In thes

Drizzling, fine rain fell all day Monday

Like astute politicians, the veterans ar
buttonholing every one In behalf o
their candidates for commander-in
chief. The hotel corridors are begin
ming to appear more as though filleI
with delegates to some political cOnVen
tion than with old soldiers coming to
gether for a reunion. The rebel haj
order, the pension vetOes, and 0thel
Presidential acts which have stirred ul
the Grand Army, are discussed privately
and the general wonder is whether the!
will be brought up before the order.
